Career

Demonaz played guitar on the albums
Immortal split-up in 2002 and later reunited in 2006.[1][2] That same year, Demonaz contributed lyrics to the black metal supergroup I and their album Between Two Worlds. He released his first solo album, March of the Norse, in 2011. After having surgery to correct his tendinitis in 2013, Demonaz was able to play guitar again and returned to Immortal as a guitarist and vocalist following Abbath's departure in 2015. Immortal's first album to feature instrumental contributions from Demonaz in 21 years, Northern Chaos Gods, was released on 6 July 2018. Following a legal dispute over the rights to the band's name between Demonaz and Horgh, the latter left the band in 2022.[3] Immortal's first album to only feature Demonaz as a band member, War Against All, was released on 26 May 2023.[4]
